In a past interview, Marco Joseph’s widow shared details about her husband’s final moments before his death.

According to her, Marco spoke to his children and his mother the day before his passing, offering words that would later take on a heartbreaking significance.

The singer was reportedly in high spirits, chatting with his family and enjoying their company. His children, who were on their way to school at the time, asked when he would return home. Marco assured them he would be back the following week, unaware that these would be his final words to them.

"He told me, 'Tomorrow I am going into surgery, try your best to come early.' When I arrived, we laughed and chatted. I called the children, and they spoke to their father. They asked, 'Dad, when are you coming back?' and he told them, 'Next week,'" the widow recalled in her emotional account.

The grieving widow also revealed a deeply moving conversation she had with Marco during his hospital stay. Even while fighting for his life, Marco had the strength to offer words of comfort to his wife, preparing her for the worst.

"He told me, 'My wife, you will cry a lot when I die. You will cry and eventually get used to it.' But I have failed to get used to the pain; it is too much. Marco has left me," she said amid tears.

Marco Joseph’s funeral was held on August 25, 2024, in Kahama, Shinyanga, Tanzania. Family, friends, and fans gathered to bid farewell to the talented lead singer, whose music with the Zabron Singers touched the hearts of many.
